The Pritzker administration announced a $15.4-million investment in the Rebuild Illinois-funded Wet Lab Capital program to support eight new wet lab spaces throughout Illinois, including one at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Bronzeville.
Gov. JB Pritzker also announced a $5-million capital grant to expand Illinois Tech’s campus microgrid.
“Last year, my administration launched a Wet Lab Capital program to meet the technical needs of startups, incubators and universities across the state,” said Pritzker. “Today, after receiving so many brilliant applications from project developers across Illinois, I am excited to announce $15.4 million in grants that is funding $90 million worth of wet lab expansions throughout Illinois –in Chicago but also at both of Southern Illinois University’s campuses, at Rosalind Franklin University in the heart of Illinois’ biopharma ecosystem in northern Illinois, and at life science hubs up and down the state.”
